This is what Phil Ivey's wallet would've looked like had Tom 'durrrr' Dwan won his bracelet prop bet.
Tom ‘durrrr’ Dwan came thisclose to capturing his first WSOP bracelet. Holding the chip lead in Event #11 ($1,500 NLH) for the majority of the final day, durrrr eventually finished second, banking $381,885. Simon Watt took the title and his first bracelet, earning $614,248.
However, the real story here are the untold millions that will now stay within the poker economy as durrrr was not able to cash in on his numerous bracelet prop bets.
We’ve heard some sick, sick amounts of cash durrrr would’ve cleared had he won. SICK.
High stakes nosebleeders were sweating the final table hard. As Daniel Negreanutweeted throughout the night:
The atmosphere in the room is electric. So many of us have bets against Durrr winning. 3 left and we are sweating hard! / Durr just doubled up and the rail cheered while most of the people in the stud 8 moaned and cried. / Congrats to Tom Dwan! We were all rooting for you… To come second! Wow I escaped. What a sweat that was. / Just finished chatting with Durr. That kid is amazing. Rather than jump off a bridge he is smiling and gearing up for the next one. Cool cat.
We haven’t used this term since our old trip reports, but let’s just say had durrrr won, bedlam would’ve ensued.

Being short-stacked probably never felt so good for Gavin Smith.
463 of the starting 745 made it to Day 2 of the 2010 WPT LAPC Main Event. Gavin Smith ranks 462nd in chips.
However, he out-lasted Joe Sebok and 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen in their last longer prop bet. So sometime in the next couple of weeks, Joe Sebok with get both Gavin and Madsen’s faces inked on his body, and Madsen will get Smith’s mug somewhere on his skin. More to come on this later.
The 745 entrants is among the largest WPT fields in recent memory (BJ…?) creating a first place prize of $1,788,001. Masaaki Kagawasounds like a really cool and sleek Japanese motorcycle is the Day 1 chip leader with 124,575. He’s followed by Mark Seif with 122,025.

Looks like poker players Joe Sebok and Gavin Smith, as well as and 9/11 conspiracist/rapper Jeff Madsen are back at making crazy prop bets. This time though, it’s revisiting an old theme.
Seebs, Gavin, and Madsen are making a LAPC Main Event last-longer prop bet where the losers have to get the other two people’s faces inked on their body.
Sooooo, Gavin, myself, and Jeff Madsen have all entered into a blood pact…quite literally…in the form of another last longer bet, and another tattoo consequence. This time a little scarier. Whoever is the fist person to bust at this year’s LAPC in Los Angeles will be forced to immediately get the other two fellow’s ugly mugs tattooed on his body…their damn faces (!)…right then…by an in house tattoo artist! The next to bust will only have to get the ultimate winner’s face tattooed on himself, so he gets out pretty easy. The last standing, of course, merely gets to laugh and watch as the other two get their new ink.

We’re now seven sprays (or halfway) into the Joe Stapleton tanning prop bet, and based on some paint color samples we took from Home Depot, Stapes apparently is a spot on match for Fairfax Autumn. Not a bad look for him. Not a bad look.
